Jake's art is deeply influenced by his Soviet and Jewish heritage, which has significantly impacted his creative expression. He draws inspiration from the renowned Soviet film director, Tarkovsky, whose techniques and storytelling style he incorporates into his own works. This influence is noticeable in his use of symbolism and imagery, which reflect the deeper significance of the Jewish tradition.

One of the most prominent elements of Jake's art is the use of gold, which creates a shimmering effect reminiscent of Eastern Orthodox icons. This technique is inspired by his Jewish roots, where gold is often used to convey spiritual significance. In fact, his creative process is infused with the Kabbalah, a collection of Jewish mystical writings that imbue his craft with a spiritual dimension.
